幾乎每個人都為新的一年制定了工作或?qū)W習(xí)目標,然而又有多少人真正將其變成了現(xiàn)實？我們又該如何制定一個切實可行的目標呢？本文以幽默詼諧的語言為我們的行動指明了方向。
People often make resolutions at the beginning of the New Year. They work hard at them for a few weeks, maybe even a few months, and then forget about them. The next year, they make the same New Year’s resolutions. Why? 新年開始,人們總少不了要制定目標。人們?yōu)榇祟H動了一番腦筋,耗時幾個星期,甚至可能幾個月,可隨后就忘個精光。第二年他們又如法炮制了同樣的目標。這是為什么呢？或許他們設(shè)定的目標太不合實際了,然而,這并不是說,他們的目標就不值得一提。而是要將這些目標細致化、具體化,也不能太理想化。
They may be making goals that are too unrealistic1. That is not to say that they are not worthy goals. They need to be broken into smaller, more specific, and more attainable pieces. You probably know the joke. How do you eat an elephant? One spoonful at a time. It is the same with goals. Make spoon-size goals and achieve them easily. When you’ve mastered this, get a bigger spoon! 你大概聽過這個笑話吧。怎樣才能吞食一頭大象呢？當然是一次吃一口了。設(shè)定目標也是這樣。目標設(shè)小一些,就容易實現(xiàn)。當你掌握了小的目標,再來設(shè)大點的目標吧！
You may have filled your timetable with so many things that there is little room for your goals to grow. duanwenw.comBe careful about how you use your time and what you focus on. Success often comes when you know what to leave out, rather than what to include in your life. Notice, too, how much time you spend on small things. Have you ever just "had" to clean your office before you could begin your project? Then you know how this works! 也許你的時間表早已排滿,無法再實現(xiàn)新的目標了。那么,你可得留心時間的使用和計劃的重點了。成功的訣竅在于懂得一生中你該放棄什么,而不是該納入什么。切忌讓雞毛蒜皮的瑣事耗費了你的時間。在實施你的目標之前,你是否曾經(jīng)"必須"去清理你的辦公室呢？那么,你熟諳此道了！
Goal setting is like the pig and the chicken who went out for a walk in the town. The chicken became excited when she saw a sign that said "Pork & Eggs, $2.99". She said to the pig, "We’ve got double billing again." The pig said, "For you, it’s all in a day’s work. For me, it’s total commitment2."Goal setting is all in a day’s work. Goal achievement is total commitment. 設(shè)定目標有如結(jié)伴到鎮(zhèn)上轉(zhuǎn)悠的豬和雞。雞瞧見寫著"豬肉和雞蛋,2.99美元"的招牌時激動不已,她對豬說:"我們的身價又漲了一倍呢！"豬說:"下幾個蛋對你來說只是一天的功夫；而這肉對于我,可是全身心地投入啊。"設(shè)定目標只是一天的功夫,而實現(xiàn)目標就需要全身心地投入了。
